|---|---|---|
| EriC^^ | morning ducasse :) | 06:21 |
| ducasse | hey, EriC^^ - take any photos while i was sleeping? :) | 06:23 |
| EriC^^ | hehe no :) | 06:23 |
| ducasse | just thought you mentioned last night you wanted to take some night pics :) | 06:24 |
| ducasse | what kind of camera is this new one you bought, anyway? | 06:24 |
| EriC^^ | yeah i do, maybe today :) | 06:24 |
| EriC^^ | it's a nikon 5300d | 06:25 |
| ducasse | wow, that looks nice :) i was into photography when i was back in school, they had a darkroom that they let me use. haven't kept it up, though. | 06:27 |
| EriC^^ | it seems like a nice hobby, sometimes when i drive in the morning or sunset the sky looks really nice and i think i wish i had a camera or something | 06:30 |
| ducasse | yes it does, i really liked the darkroom work as well. not much of that these days :) | 06:32 |

| EriC^^ | sounds interesting | 06:34 |
| EriC^^ | i recently just read about camera's and pictures and stuff | 06:35 |
| EriC^^ | iso aperture and shutter speed | 06:36 |
| ducasse | a friend of mine is a professional photographer, he used to do some really impressive work with making prints on highly specialized paper in various ways, it's a real art. | 06:36 |
| EriC^^ | that's cool | 06:40 |
| ducasse | i need to reinstall my server now, so i'll need to set up my mail services again. was thinking of putting it into an lxc container on a loop device to make it easy to back up and move around, any thoughts on that? | 06:42 |
| EriC^^ | i've never used lxc containers, no idea | 06:44 |
| EriC^^ | but it sounds simple enough? | 06:45 |
| EriC^^ | you transport the whole mail service then transport it back? | 06:46 |
| ducasse | ok, i'll ask for tips in #ubuntu-server, but since it has just one user i don't think performance should be a problem. | 06:46 |
| EriC^^ | aha | 06:46 |
| ducasse | no, i just replicate the config into a container so it is easy to move if i need to later, or for the next time i reinstall. | 06:47 |
| EriC^^ | oh i see | 06:47 |
| ducasse | the ideal scenario on a fresh install is to just let the installer run, set up zfs, and just start all my containers. | 06:49 |
| EriC^^ | i've yet to delve into containers and virtualization and such | 06:49 |
| EriC^^ | pretty eager to learn about these stuff, maybe some day | 06:49 |
| EriC^^ | deployment, etc. after all if i hope to get a job in linux one day i'd need these stuff for sure | 06:49 |
| ducasse | i really like both kvm and lxc, just started looking at lxc about six months back. it works really well. | 06:50 |
| ducasse | i wish we had virt back when i was working in the indestry :) | 06:50 |
| ducasse | *industry | 06:50 |
| EriC^^ | cool, yeah it seems to open a lot of possibilities and stuff | 06:52 |
| ducasse | yes, things like libvirt are just soooo nice to work with, also. /me <3 libvirt and zfs :) | 06:54 |
| EriC^^ | :) | 06:55 |
| ducasse | knowing how to work with libvirt would certainly help you get a job. lxd as well. | 06:56 |
| * EriC^^ will look into them | 06:57 | |
| EriC^^ | sometimes i wish we could do like the movie matrix and plug in all those info to our brains | 06:57 |
| EriC^^ | lol, so much to learn, so little time | 06:57 |
| ducasse | tip for EriC^^: one of the fedora sites, the one with all the docs, has a really good one on virtualization, how to work with virt-manager etc. | 06:58 |
| EriC^^ | thank you :) | 06:58 |
| EriC^^ | i'll check it out | 06:59 |
| ducasse | all of the #ubuntu* collective knowledge would be really awesome :-D | 07:00 |
| ducasse | lots of smart people here | 07:00 |
| EriC^^ | yeah | 07:00 |
| ducasse | what kind of laptop are you getting next week, btw? | 07:01 |
| EriC^^ | i was thinking the msi prestige pe60 6qe , or the msi leopard pro gp62 6qe | 07:02 |
| EriC^^ | i wish i could get both, it's a little difficult deciding on the color | 07:06 |
| EriC^^ | i've never had a silver laptop before so i kind of want it, then again i'm used to good black laptops | 07:06 |
| ducasse | is this a problem? https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=271163.0 | 07:07 |
| ducasse | EriC^^: see discussion at bottom: http://www.linlap.com/msi_gp62_leopard_pro | 07:11 |
| EriC^^ | seems doable | 07:13 |
| EriC^^ | the nvidia/intel hybrid thing might be a hassle though | 07:13 |
| ducasse | yes, it seems the 960m has/had a few problems with linux, but all the posts i can find are ~6 months old or older, so it might be fixed now. | 07:15 |
| EriC^^ | yeah, many people come to the channel cause of hybrid graphics problems | 07:16 |
| EriC^^ | amd is more straightforward i think | 07:16 |
| ducasse | yes, but are you planning to game under linux? are the amd drivers good enough now? | 07:18 |
| EriC^^ | nope no gaming | 07:18 |
| EriC^^ | i want it for the i7 4 core honestly | 07:19 |
| ducasse | oh, then you should be fine, i'd expect. i'd still probably avoid amd, but that's just me. | 07:20 |
| EriC^^ | yeah amd isn't that great right now i think | 07:26 |
| BluesKaj | Hiyas all | 13:08 |
